• “matter of time” until end of Ayatollah regime in Iran - Reza Pahlavi son of Shah  
• 1979 revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini
• Iran’s youth want a different life
• "Not only has regime lost legitimacy, beginning to lose grasp as well

regime “exports ideology to dominate region directly or via proxies” he said
it is incapable of coming to terms with the rest of the world
clerics create further instability in region
Iranian people pay the price every 
regime on its way down, sooner or later people will be free in Iran

• Iranian people do not receive any economic benefits 
• Obama released tremendous amount of money, none spent on the people 
• interests of Iranian people and Ayatollahs entirely different

“The regime has every interest to continue fomenting instability because its survival depends on that,” he said. 

But our national interest depends on having stability and peace with our neighbours, as opposed to constantly meddling in their internal affairs.

• anticipates good relations between Iran and neighbours, once Ayatollahs gone
• The Iranian people, in contrast to Ayatollahs have no animosity 
• people of Iran want to be part of the free world

My comments :

There is a creepy movie called 'The Village' directed by famous Hollywood director Night Shyamalan.  Here is a poster from the movie (on the left).

The Village is a small community living deep inside a forest in an old time period - before the age of electricity or water pipes.  The people in the village are "terrorised" by ugly monsters that walk around the forest. From time to time, if something bad happens in the village or someone does something wrong, the ugly monsters will come into the village at night. They usually kill animals and leave them around the village - as a warning.  

The village has a group of elders who teach the young ones that the monsters are known as 'Those who we do not speak of'.  Basically it means 'do not ask questions about them'. The villagers have learned that if they stay indoors and stay absolutely quiet then the monsters just leave them alone. 

But the whole village is actually a fake.  The village actually exists somewhere in the modern United States. 

The monsters are just some of the village elders wearing the monster costume (in the poster above) to frighten the villagers so that they can keep a tight grip over them. It is a fake control mechanism.

The 'village elders' are a bunch of ex-university professors who decided to escape from the bad, bad "real world" and isolate themselves inside a forest. They learned to live and sustain themselves in the forest with no modern facilities. All the children were born in the village and grew up not knowing anything else about the real world except   'Those who we do not speak of'  who live in the bad, bad forest and terrorise them.

Now obviously in a village society like this, there cannot be democracy, free speech or free inquiry allowed. The young people in the village must take it for granted that the village elders know what is best for them and that there really are 'monsters' that live in the forest around them. 

This is what Iran has become. The Ayatollahs keep the Iranians locked up and tell them that the rest of the world is bad, bad, bad. The Ayatollahs have created imaginary monsters in the forest who will harm the Iranians.

And when the Iranians protest to ask for their freedoms it is the Ayatollahs themselves who turn out to be the monsters that terrorise the Iranian people. And unlike the monsters in the movie, the Ayatollahs are already in costume, 24/7.

In the movie the spell cracks when a few young people begin to question things. I forgot how it ends but one of the young people, a blind girl, escapes through the forest and actually meets a police patrol car.

The Ayatollahs Iran is an insanity. Since 1979 Iran has become an Ayatollah Mental Asylum. The mentally insane Ayatollahs have taken over Iran. The insane Ayatollahs run Iran like a mental asylum. 

But  the Iranian people are not all insane. This is the problem the Ayatollahs face and this is the salvation for Iran. The Iranian people can see that the Ayatollahs are really insane. 

I have said this before and I will say this again - the Ayatollahs in Iran are facing not just extinction but extermination. My prediction is the Iranian people will one day chase the Ayatollahs down the street and hang them up from the trees and the lamp posts. This is going to happen.
